Chapter 110: Filibuster

Indeed, as Marshal Shi Yexuan expected, Ragustevich was in his garrison at this time, and when he had listened to Terry's "confession", he immediately sent people to the capital to get the order to "welcome" the Blue Banner Army.

After receiving the order of the Führer, he rushed to the border of the Jibulati Empire non-stop, but he did not expect to wait for more than ten days before receiving a secret report from his subordinates on a fast horse, and the person he was waiting for actually appeared in his own defense area, and successfully joined the sixth division of the exercise, which made Admiral Ragustevich angry and scolded for half an hour.

However, when he finished his anger, he also knew that everything was useless now, so he could only rush to the station in a stupid manner.

But before he could rush back, he received a secret letter from the Führer on the way.

In the letter, Ulan Koteb tried his best to win him into the new Takilian Empire he envisioned, and promised to make him the Minister of Defense of the new Empire after the next thing was completed, and all he had to do now was to find a way to hold back the Sixth Division led by Marshal Shi Yexuan and not let Marshal Shi Yexuan rush back to the capital.

This secret letter coincided with the ambition of Admiral Ragustevich, who had long wanted to replace Marshal Shi Yexuan, how could he oppose the attraction of the Grand Führer, and his treacherous eyes rolled and he immediately thought of an idea.

Ragustevich rushed back to the garrison last night, as the head snake here, as long as he had the heart, Ragustevich could still easily avoid the surveillance of the Sixth Division and enter his headquarters unnoticed.

In order to carry out his plan more secretly, Ragustevich did not inform his generals who were not close friends, but some preparations for the implementation of the filibuster plan were already in full swing.

It is a small plain on the highlands, and 20 kilometres to the west there are canyons and small mountain ranges, where only a road along the banks of the river is passable.

Just as the Sixth Division was preparing to set off for the capital, a group of hardcover men in hundreds of people dressed in ordinary herdsmen's clothes were galloping on fast horses on this Yanhe road.

Although these people were all dressed as herdsmen, their identities were revealed by the standard rifles on their backs and the secret mark of the military horn on the saddle, which was a group of Takilia soldiers who had changed their uniforms.

The group of people came all the way to the corner of a road, which was originally a ridge that stretched out to the bank of the river, but it was blown open when the road was opened, so now there is a stone cliff dozens of meters high on one side, and a river bank more than ten meters deep on the other side, and the rolling and turbulent river water is constantly lapping the black and blue riverbank.

When the knights arrived, they all reined in their galloping horses and quickly flipped off their horses.

"Unload all the explosives, hurry up, the scouts of the Sixth Division are estimated to be coming over soon."

A tall knight dismounted and commanded the men.

As the man finished speaking, the other knights were trained to divide their labor.

Several men took bundles of hemp rope from their horses, and tied one end of the hemp rope to several large stones by the roadside, and the other side to the waists of several knights.

When the preparations were done, the knights, tied with twine, slid down the cliff on the river bank with iron pickaxes.

"Jingle ......"

Although it was a hard granite riverbank, there were already many cracks in some places due to the perennial wind and sun, and it only took them an hour to expand the cracks to the width of several explosive packets.

There are more than a dozen places where explosives are ready to be placed, densely distributed on stone cliffs more than ten meters wide.

Seeing that the excavators had finished, the knight above immediately put down a bag of explosives filled with black powder with hemp rope.

These people are one person and two horses, so the explosives they brought are enough to cover tens of thousands of catties, although these explosives are packed with black powder, but so much, not to mention the collapse of this section of the road, it is estimated that the energy of the explosion may spread to the nearby mountains, so that the stone cliffs on the road will also collapse.

It's not so easy to stuff all the explosives into these cracks, after all, it's hanging in mid-air.

"Report!"

Before all the explosives were placed, a fast horse galloped again from the direction of the attack, and the knight on the horse shouted from afar.

"What's going on?"

The leader, who was directing his men to deliver explosives packs to the bottom of the cliff, heard the movement of the incoming rider and quickly got up, and when he saw the appearance of the comer, his heart was also a sigh.

"Report to Comrade Captain, a reconnaissance cavalry of the 6th Division has reached 2 kilometers away."

The galloping knight reined in his horse, and before he could get off his horse, he shouted to the chief.

"MD, so fast."

Looking back at the dozens of packs of explosives that had not yet had time to descend the cliff, the leader frowned and cursed, although he knew that the Sixth Division would definitely send the vanguard, but he didn't expect the speed to be so fast.

"All of them, the comrades of the 4th squad continue to put explosives down, the other comrades have picked up weapons for me, ready to fight, we must stop these scouts before the explosives are planted, for the sake of the general!"

Unloading their rifles from behind, the captain beckoned his men to run in the direction they had begun, and they had to find a blocking position before the scouts of the 6th Division arrived.

The scout cavalry of the 6th Division came very quickly, and before the armed men who were trying to block it had time to build a blocking position, the sound of horses' hooves was already approaching.

Having already guessed that Admiral Ragustevich might make a small move, how could Marshal Shi Yexuan and Ulitarov, two veteran fellows who had been in battle for a long time, not be on guard, so before the action of the main force, a company of reconnaissance cavalry was sent to clear the way.

Because the enemy did not have time to build concealed fortifications, the reconnaissance cavalry of the 6th Division spotted these armed men from a distance. Seeing the hundreds of figures with weapons, these well-trained elites of the Sixth Division were also immediately ready for battle.

When they found that these people in front of them had not yet had time to build a position, but only hurriedly defended with the help of the terrain on both sides of the road, and then looked at the number of opponents, the soldiers of these reconnaissance companies were also relieved, and they did not even get off their horses, let alone untie the rifles behind their backs.

In such a highway terrain, coupled with the fact that the opponent has no effective fortifications, in such a situation, for cavalry, the role of a rifle is far inferior to that of a sharp saber.

Under the gesture command of the commander of the reconnaissance company, more than a hundred cavalrymen of the reconnaissance company immediately pulled out their sharp sabers from under the saddle, lowered their bodies, and hid the whole person in the broad back of the Yaqi horse.

As the commander of the reconnaissance company took the lead, more than 100 high-speed Yaqi horses lined up in a long longitudinal line, and galloped towards the defenders' position quickly.

"Bang!"

Seeing the formation of the reconnaissance cavalry of the Sixth Division, on the blocking position, these soldiers who were also from cavalry could not see the power, and they did not know that the soldier was overly nervous, and pulled the trigger before the opponent entered the effective range.

"Bang ......"

With the sound of a gunshot, these garrison soldiers who had not really experienced the war also pulled the trigger in their hands indiscriminately.

Dozens of rifles are shooting indiscriminately, and the momentum sounds very loud, but the effect can be imagined.
